Description

These muffins are moist, dense, and so full of flavor! This is one of my favorite low carb muffin recipes. Suitable for gluten–free, Atkins, keto, lchf, low carb, diabetic, low glycemic, sugar-free, dairy-free.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MUFFINS:
  • 1 cup Finely Ground Almond Flour
  • ½ cups Bob's Red Mill Golden Flaxseed Meal
  • 1 teaspoon Gluten Free Baking Powder
  • ⅛ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ cups Just Like Sugar (Brown) Or Other Brown Sugar Substitute
  • ¼ cups Freeze Dried Unsweetened Cranberries (I Use Honestly Cranberries)
  • ½ cups Pecans, Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil, Melted (or Butter For More Flavor, If Dairy Is Not An Issue)
  • 2 Tablespoons Smucker's Sugar Free Orange Marmalade, Melted
  • 4 drops Liquid Sucralose (or Equivalent Sweetener)
  • 2 Tablespoons Walden Farms Pancake Syrup (or Other Sugar Free Syrup)
  • 2  Eggs (large)
  • 1 teaspoon Orange Extract
  • ½  Orange, Zest And Juice, Divided
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil, Melted
  • 1 teaspoon Orange Juice (reserved From Muffin Prep)
  • 2 Tablespoons Swerve Confectioners (powdered Erythritol)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 6 wells in a muffin pan or line with parchment liners (see notes). Set aside.

Put all dry ingredients in medium mixing bowl and mix well: almond flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, salt, Just Like Sugar, dried cranberries, pecans.

Melt coconut oil and marmalade in a microwave safe bowl (about 20 seconds). Add liquid sweetener, syrup, eggs, orange extract, and orange zest. Whisk well.

Squeeze the orange juice into a small bowl. Reserve 1 teaspoon of juice for the glaze, and set aside. Put the rest of the juice in the bowl with the egg mixture and whisk again.

Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until everything is mixed. Batter will be thick.

Divide batter evenly into 6 muffin cups/liners (cups will be pretty full). Bake 20–25 minutes. Tops should be lightly browned, and center springy if touched (use a toothpick test if not sure). Turn muffins out on to wire rack. Allow muffins to cool for at least 15 minutes (or put in refrigerator to speed up the cooling).

For the glaze:
Melt the coconut oil in a small bowl. Add remaining glaze ingredients and mix well. Glaze should be thin enough to pour. If it needs thinning, add just a couple of drops of water at a time until the right consistency. Drizzle glaze over the tops of each muffin with a spoon. Allow glaze to set for at least 1/2 hour.

Muffins should be stored in the refrigerator. They may be frozen, then defrosted on the counter top.

Notes:
1. If you use silicone muffin cups, they sometimes run smaller than a regular muffin tin. You may need to use more than 6, and fill each one 3/4 full.
2. Glaze needs to be thin enough to pour, but not too watery. Adjust consistency as needed with either more water or more Swerve Confectioner’s to get a glaze consistency, rather than an icing.
